“Leanne was absolutely wonderful. I was states away and she took excellent care of my baby. She provided pictures and videos of his activities which made me feel so relieved and comfortable. Will definitely book again. 💕💕”
“Tara was amazing. She took great care of our Snoop. We really appreciated the daily pictures. It was very obvious that she was snuggling and loving on him all week. We will 100% use her again in the future.”
“Rayna & Zach took great care of our pup! They were so kind, flexible, and easy to work with! My pup didn’t want to come home with us when we got there. I would definitely recommend them and their dogs are great as well 😊”
“We had a fantastic experience! Yingfei took wonderful care of our Frenchie for 11 days, including giving her daily allergy medication and keeping us updated with photos and messages throughout our trip. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing she was in such caring and capable hands. Our dog came home happy, healthy, and well loved. We would absolutely book with Yingfei again and highly recommend her!”
“Cameron is a fantastic trainer and dog sitter. He took great care of our dog for a week while we were away for a trip. You can tell Cameron has a passion for caring and training dogs and is exceptional at what he does. I highly recommend Cameron to anyone looking for his services. Thank you again, Cameron.”
“Rachel was amazing!! Her and her husband were so kind. They watched our two dogs for four days and I don’t think they wanted to leave 😆 Rachel sent tons of pictures and updates every day. I could definitely tell they were well loved and well cared for! We will definitely be using Rachel again!”
“Elisa and her family took the best care of Baxter and I would highly recommend them to watch your puppies. We were nervous as we don't usually leave Baxter but Elisa ( and family & Norman) provided loving care. She sent updates and pictures, which we loved! The sweetest part of Baxter's stay was her sons drew pictures for Baxter! I can positively say, Baxter was a loved puppy! Thank you Elisa, Family, and Norman!”
“Dawn made me feel very comfortable leaving our pup with her for the week. She is very personable and obviously a pet person. She sent photos and communication. I could tell when we picked him up he was happy and not nervous. I feel like he really enjoyed his time with Dawn. We will definitely utilize her as a second family for Paco in the future. thanks Dawn!”
“This was our first time booking with Debbie, which meant my anxiety was high leaving Gerti with yet another new sitter. I had nothing to worry about though because Debbie was wonderful with the photos and updates she sent me while we were away. And by the end of Gerti's stay, it looked like she had really warmed up to Debbie.”
“Stacy is seriously the best. I just moved to KC from Los Angeles and was worried about finding a host in the area since there aren't very many DogVacay hosts in KC. THANK GOD I found Stacy. My dog Frankie has some resource guarding and food aggression issues toward other dogs and humans so I was very nervous about leaving him with someone new. She was patient and understanding when I was explaining the issues to her and was very good at managing situations to avoid any reactions from Frankie. I'm so grateful to have found her and 100% trust her to watch my baby boy while I'm away. She also sends the cutest photos of Frankie! Would absolutely recommend and will definitely be returning!”
“Katie and her family were beyond excellent! She sent daily updates and pictures of our pup having the time of his life. Great communication and flexibility. I can’t recommend them enough!”
“Carolina is a keeper . We will definitely use her services again. A very warm and friendly home. Carolina is fantastic to deal with. She kept us updated daily and sent photos. She was available to talk to and truly cared about Loki’s needs. We loved her!”
“We couldn’t be more pleased with the care our Leo received during the weeks we were away. Matt and Sierra treated him like their own, providing regular updates with photos and videos that reassured us he was in the best hands possible. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate team to care for their fur babies.”
“Katie was an absolute fantastic dog sitter! We left our energetic pup with her and she took such wonderful care of her. From the very first meet-and-greet, Katie was warm, professional, and clearly passionate about dogs. Throughout the stay, Katie sent the most delightful updates and photos of her playing. It was so reassuring to see how relaxed and happy she looked in all the pictures. Our dog came home well-cared for, more relaxed and content. Katie clearly went above and beyond. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring, responsible hands. We would (and will!) book Katie again in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, loving sitter who treats your dog like her own, look no further. Katie is the best! Thank you so much!! 🐾❤️ Highly recommend — 10/10 would trust her with our fur baby again!”
“Elliott loved his stay with Angie. We got lots of pics and check-ins every day. He always looked happy. I felt confident that he was well cared for and loved. I definitely would have Elliott stay with Angie again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Apex home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Apex.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Apex sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MO ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
